Adulting is Easy with Lauren Keen Aumond

Feb 18, 2025

I’m joined today by Lauren Keen Aumond. The usual host of the Adulting Is Easy podcast is celebrating her 200th episode by turning the tables and becoming the interviewee. Lauren is a personal finance content creator and real estate investor based in the Tampa Bay area. She probably uses her Business Finance Degree from the University of Florida and her graduate certificate in financial planning from Boston University in these pursuits. Between stocks, real estate, and equity in an engineering firm, Lauren and her husband, Aric, have reached great financial heights before their mid-30’s. 

From her early curiosity about money, influenced by her financially savvy parents, to navigating challenging family dynamics, Lauren shares how these experiences shaped her financial mindset. Whether it's purchasing her first house at a young age, transitioning into a successful sales career, or her decision to embark on a financial independence journey, Lauren's story is rich with resilience, strategic planning, and personal growth.
